Simplifying Employee Investigations

Overview: You just got news of yet another issue that just happened in your business that now you need to deal with - it could be a sexual harassment claim, a tip on an employee stealing, or just someone goofing off on the Internet for way too long.

Especially in cases of data theft, fraud, embezzlement, etc., having detail on everything the employee did leading up to the purported "bad deed?" will be critical in determining whether something improper occurred or not.
